Time to start thinking bigger and better

As 2005 winds down, I'm trying to get my shT together and I hope my peoples are doing the same. To that end, I'mma have to go ahead and start compiling my list of shT that needs to be done better in the new year than it was this year.

Read more. To myself. To the midget. For pleasure. For business. The first three pieces to tackle. Rich Dad, Poor Dad. A meaningful kiddie story with Black characters. And that PMP study guide I've had sitting on the shelf all along.

Work out more. I've been really good at getting back on the court. I've played at several area courtrs throughout the city; from outdoor courts in the Fens to Washington Park in Roxbury. And at indoor facilities from the Reggie Lewis Center to Mildred Ave & Mattahunt communty centers, to the Marino Center at my alma mater. But it's not the bball that I'm stressing this time around. I need to be doing more sit-ups and push-ups and grown man shT like that. Hopefully, my man Harold will help to get me pumped up before 2007 hits.

Manage my money even better. I've done a fairly decent job. I got by and did all kinds of crazy shT when I was broke as a joke. Then the ill jo piece put a dent on plans because it changed my situation too much. Now the new job piece is paradox; full of highs and lows that cause both frustration and elation...all in one breath. But still I need to keep better track of the expenses, pay closer attention to all the tax breaks and incentives that I should be watching, and continue to grow my savings and emergency duckets. As the Disco's injury made clear, shT can get drastic real quick. Plus, I want to cop another crib.
